Must Be A Deployment Moment....

On Friday while I was holding Slade getting ready to feed him he projectile vomited...no warning or anything. I mean this stuff shot across to the other side of my king size bed, all over him, all over me and up into my eyebrows!!!! Wow-poor baby! He smiled as soon as it was over but I was a lil freaked out so I called the Dr and took his temp which was 99.1. The Dr called back and told me that unless his fever spiked or it continued to happen it was prob a fluke thing and it was OK. He was fine the rest of the day although he did have an explosive poop diaper at Target that evening so I decided not to worry. That Target poop must have opened the flood gates cause the next morning he woke up with super runny poop. 2 days later he still has the super runny poop so my guess is a lil touch of the stomach flu but thank goodness he has no fever and is still super happy and smiles every time I talk to him. The reason for that story is because I was in the process of getting ready to change him and feeding him pedialyte when Bella came bursting into my room and announced that there was toilet water everywhere. I asked her if they had splashed it or if it coming out of the toilet and she told me the toilet was going crazy. I put Slade down and ran to the other room to discover the toilet was indeed going crazy!!!! I quickly shut off the water...(something I learned in Florida because this is not the first time this has happened to us!) and called my mom and then Christina. I changed my poor son and started cleaning it up with the small wet/dry shop vac we have. There was about an inch of standing water and carpets going into the 2 bedrooms and the living room were soaked with water about 1.5 feet into the rooms. After Christina got alot of the water soaked up I had to shampoo carpets! This has really been a fun filled wknd with discovering a dead mouse in Aubrey's kitchen, Aubrey's dog being in heat, running errands with 5 kids and the toilet water attempting to play "Katrina" in my house!!!! I think I heard my house and dishes crying for Celia the other day begging for her return! Aubrey says she is going to write a book called Deployment Moments and that my toilet water incident will get its own chapter!!!

P.S. SORRY NO PICS...COULDN'T FIND THE CAMERA IN THE CHAOS!!!!
P.S.S A BIG THANK YOU TO ISAAC LEWIS FOR LEAVING ME HIS WIFE(CHRISTINA) DURING THIS DEPLOYMENT...I COULD NOT HAVE SURVIVED WITH OUT HER!!!!

What happened here?!?!?!

So for whatever reason I seem to have the kids who lose all the beautiful hair they were born with. Bellas hair turned into a mullet and Lena went bald even though she didnt have much to start with. I had such high hopes for Slade and no such luck...this lil boy is losing all his hair too. His dad has told me just to buzz it all off but who buzzes a 6 week old babys hair??? What the heck is going on here...sad thing is its only a matter of weeks before I start losing my hair too. I know this because it happened when I had Bella and Lena....down the drain will go all my wonderful hair too to join Bellas, Lenas and Slades! Drano here we come!

Happy 1st Birthday Lulu and Zeppelin!

Today is the pups 1st birthday!!! I think I have one too many days where I sit and think what was I thinking getting puppies! They have had more fun with tearing up our new house, tackling my kids, house training and the latest Lulus traveling all over the neighborhood after digging out and crawling under the fence. The sad thing is they have been to obedience school and are still a handful!!! I do have to say I think there is a conspiracy in this house going on with them and the kids to make mom crazy so that dad can come home!!!! They were pretty good while Tom was home so that does give me hope as does the fact that soon they will leave this puppy behavior far behind them!!! In spite of all the bad behavior and the evil thoughts to serve them chocolate cake for their birthday(KIDDING!!!) I am happy we have them and hope they love their lives in our home!!! Happy Birthday Lulu and Zeppy!!!!

A huge accomplishment!!!!

Some of you may not know that for me getting my kids pictures taken is a HUGE chore and accomplishment. The reason being is that "perfectionist" side of me really emerges and overtakes my whole self. I start to really stress about the perfect outfits, the perfect hair, the hair not getting messed up on the way there, the clothes not getting dirty or wrinkled and the poses and smiles being perfect! Example 1: I have not had my kids pics taken since Elena was 3 mos old and she was naked in that pic and bald so that took off the perfect hair and outfit stress!!! She is now 3 yrs and 3 mos old! Example 2: When I went to get Bellas 2 years pics taken she was not allowed to wear her beautifully ironed dress until we got there and I didnt comb her hair until we got there. Example 3: This time my kids werent allowed to put their clothes on until we were about to walk out the door and were repeatedly told dont touch their hair or lay down and they were not allowed to drink or eat anything that might stain the color of their mouths or tongues!!!! I know I know Im a freak....the reason I finally made an effort to get this done was for Tom for Valentines Day-BUT he now tells me that because mail has been taking so long to get there just wait to mail him anything because he will be moving one more time before coming home so I spilled the beans about my lil suprise and I emailed him all of them early!!! I do have to say that I am very happy with the pics and I sure do have some cute kids even though they drive me crazy!!!!!
